Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
Whether it’s wisdom teeth causing discomfort or damage to a tooth due to decay or injury, it’s not always easy to determine if extraction is the right solution. That’s where our team at Dulles Life Smiles comes in, offering thorough consultations to assess your oral health and determine the best course of action.
Delaying treatment for damaged or decayed teeth can result in persistent pain and even lead to more serious issues, such as gum disease. Similarly, wisdom teeth that are left untreated can cause crowding and misalignment as they push against existing teeth.
Some of the most common reasons for tooth extraction include:
- Wisdom Teeth: These teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. When they grow improperly, they can disrupt the alignment of your other teeth and lead to pain, infection, or other complications, which is why many patients opt for removal.
- Oral Disease: Advanced gum disease, significant tooth decay, or infected teeth may require extraction to prevent further complications and restore your oral health.
- Dental Trauma: Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can cause damage to a tooth. In these cases, extraction and replacement may be necessary to maintain a healthy smile.
Gentle Extractions for Problematic Teeth
If you’re dealing with a damaged or misaligned wisdom tooth, Dr. Gino is ready to assist with your tooth extraction needs in Ashburn.
Basic Tooth Extractions
Basic tooth extractions are typically used for teeth that are fully erupted and not impacted. To begin, Dr. Gino will clean* and numb the area to ensure comfort.
Using a dental elevator, he will gently loosen the tooth from its socket. Once loose, the tooth will be removed with dental forceps. Afterward, the site is cleaned, disinfected, and sutured to encourage proper healing. Each extraction usually takes around five minutes, and the process is repeated if multiple teeth need removal.
*ADA CODE D1110 or D1120. Not Valid in cases of Periodontal Disease.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
If a wisdom tooth is impacted or a tooth is severely damaged and broken off below the gumline, a basic extraction is insufficient, and surgical extraction becomes necessary.
In this procedure, an incision is made to access the tooth, which may need to be divided into pieces for easier removal. After the tooth is extracted, the area is thoroughly cleaned and sutured to support healing.
